As of the 13th January 2026, the first ever English translation of The Luminous Fairies and Mothra (1961) was published by the University of Minnesota Press, translated by Jeffrey Angles. It marked the first appearance of Mothra in any media, but is not a direct novelisation of her debut film.

A brief cameo appearance of Varan in the 1986 OVA Prefectural Earth Defense Force, which lovingly recreates the ending of his debut film.

Audrey Timmonds from GODZILLA (1998) is a two-faced bitch. We hate Audrey Timmonds in this house.

A lesser-known ability of the Showa King Ghidorah is his ability to shoot lightning directly from his feet. He demonstrates this in the manga adaptation of Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster (1964) by destroying several cities before later using it against Mothra to lift her off the ground.

A special TV spot for GODZILLA (1998) which aired on New Year's Eve 1997, depicting Godzilla knocking over the Times Square ball before it drops. Supposedly it was aired the minute before midnight on January 1st 1998.
Happy New Year to everyone in 2026! I wish you all a happy and healthy year 🥂🎆

During the HD optical disc format war between HD DVD and Blu-Ray from 2006-2008, Universal released Peter Jackson’s King Kong on HD DVD, and at one point it was advertised alongside the Xbox 360 HD DVD Player. It is, to my knowledge, the only kaiju movie to have ever been released on this format.

Let's ring in the holidays by once again reminding ourselves of this giant Godzilla-shaped Christmas tree erected in the Aqua City mall in Odaiba, Tokyo, possibly to promote the Dec. 11th 1999 theatrical debut of Godzilla 2000: Millennium.
Hope you're all having a wonderful Christmas, everyone! 🎄❤️

Gameplay footage of Jumbo Godzilla, a 1995 Japanese side-scrolling arcade game/kiddie ride hybrid. You play as Godzilla and use buttons mounted to the sides of the screen to attack waves of JSDF forces before facing one of three Heisei era opponents.

Perhaps the strangest cancelled Godzilla movie to exist is "God's Godzilla" (1979), which would've seen aliens disguised as our gods reviving Godzilla from the Nazca lines to destroy the world during WWIII. The ending would've involved Jesus Christ showing humanity a vision of their horrific future.

In the 18th story arc of Godzilla Island, a monster with the name "Super Special SpaceGodzilla High Grade Type 2" appears on the island after G-Guard destroys an Xilien fog machine projecting a hologram of SpaceGodzilla. This may just be the longest name for any kaiju in the Godzilla franchise.

Located in Hibiya Godzilla Square in Tokyo is a 3-metre tall Shin Godzilla statue. Not only is it the largest outdoor Godzilla statue in Japan, but according to the plaque, it also houses the surviving script and storyboard for the original 1954 film, fittingly described as the "soul" of Godzilla.

Now I'm picturing him closely inspecting a cardboard box and being like "the fuck is this??"
It is common knowledge that Godzilla himself has no concept of cardboard manufacturing.

A peculiar inconsistency in the lore of the MonsterVerse is that, to date, there have been two interpretations of the Kraken, and it seems Legendary has been undecided on which is definitively considered it. This thread will go over both and speculate on a possible third on the horizon.

A selection of activity pages based on Yukio Sawada's obscure Godzilla manga "SD Godzilla World: Godzilla-kun", a series that ran in TV Magazine from February to November of 1991. These are noteworthy for being rare instances of Godzilla crossing over with Super Mario characters.

The front cover of a TV Magazine Deluxe issue. The title roughly translates as "Definitive Edition Godzilla × Mechagodzilla Decisive Battle Super Encyclopedia". While I cannot find much info about it online, I happen to own a copy myself, so let me know if you'd like me to scan its pages sometime!

The opening of the first two educational OVAs for "Get Going! Godzilland" (a series that lasted from 1994 to 1996). The first two episodes were focused on the hiragana alphabet and counting, and were titled "You Can Read! You Can Write! Hiragana" and "You Can Count! Counting 1-2-3!" respectively.

In Godzilla: The Art of Destruction, director Gareth Edwards recalls a flashback scene in Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla where the original Godzilla is disintegrated by the Oxygen Destroyer. This scene is often mistaken for CGI and was actually made using a partial replica of the ShodaiGoji suit.

Godzilla and Miku costumes were also released in Fall Guys. However, the Godzilla costumes were released in July 2022 and the Miku one was released two months later. Given they weren't promoted alongside each other, it's safe to say this doesn't technically count as a crossover of the two.

During Mothra’s brief fight with Godzilla in Ebirah, Horror of the Deep (1966), there is a moment in one of the shots where you can glimpse a cigarette entangled in Mothra’s fur.
One can only imagine how much it must’ve reeked of tobacco on set for this mistake to be left in the final film.

A Japanese ad for the Canon “New Belpia” photocopier featuring Baby Godzilla, printed on a telephone card. It can be inferred that this was a cross-promotion that occurred around the time of the release of Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla II in late 1993, although it's possible it occurred sometime after.

Fortnite now marks the third time Godzilla and Hatsune Miku have officially crossed over. Their first time together was in the 2019 anime film "Shinkalion the Movie", but they later crossed paths again in Super Monkey Ball Banana Rumble, before reuniting for Fortnite's "Zero Hour" in-game event.
